Canvas Gradebook

Regarding the GRADEBOOK....how do I hide names of the students from other students...but not from the instructor? Also, is there a way to hide all grades from a student...with the EXCEPTION of that student's own grades?

The view of your Gradebook as an instructor is different than what a student would see. One student will never see the grades of another student, and that is by design. If you wanted, in your course you could go to "Settings" >> "Student View" to see what the Gradebook would look like for an individual student. When you do that, you'll see that a student would only see his/her grades for your class. They wouldn't see any other student names.

There are other places in Canvas where a student would see other student names in a course. For example, if you had the "People" tab enabled, they could see their classmates listed there. Or, if a student goes to the "Inbox", he/she could message other students in the same course.

I'm not sure if I've answered the second part of your question or not, but if not, could you please clarify? Thanks Brady.
